Cyblood:So from experience,
1. Would a Riva SE/eGo-C LR atty setup be overkill for the fruit/sweet flavours? And...
In my experience even the SE with LR doesn't 'burn' these flavors but it does wash them out to where they aren't that flavorful.
2. Would a Riva SE + eGo-C SR setup equal an eGo battery + Ego-C LR setup experience?
There have been some 'range' on the SR atty heads but using 2.3Ω for the SR and 1.8Ω for the LR and 3.7v for the SE and ave. 3.3V for the eGo batt..... you get 5.95Watts with the SE/SR match and 6.05Watts with the eGo/LR.... so that is close to an equivalency - I've never detected a difference in .1 Watts
Difference for me, start to show with a wider range .5-.8 watts. And even that depends on flavor.
Might want to pull that 1000 batt out of the drawer just for a comparison...
Typical flavours I vape are: Baklava (almond + honey), Eastern Odyssey (black tea + bergamot), Mai Tai (rum + orange), Pina Colada, Cherry Cola, Strawberry, Melon, Black Cherry (leans toward a bitter almond-ish flavour). I rarely vape tobacco flavours, though I have some, and never coffees.
So my final choice really boils down to whether a Riva SE/eGo-C LR would overcook my fruity/sweet juices and ruin the experience.
I'm not familiar with those particular ejuices but just from similar sounding ones - you might be able to vape the tea on an SE/LR set up. Cherry is one of the wildest flavors there is - it can be from very light to very strong and I"ve had some cherry flavors (not the black cherry, btw - which I'd vape as 'light') that would hold up to SE/LR but not likely all cherry. I'd likely vape the melon, strawberry and pina colada on an SR atty with the SE - but you might find they'd be even better on the 1000 and an SR. Some flavors seem to 'span' wattage - RY4 and some caramels can taste good but still different at various wattages and don't usuallly lose flavor with higher wattages. I suggest using some VG with the tank system (I use VG/H2O blend and a VG nic base) but for throat hit - I'd stay in the 75PG to 25VG range....
